Is this worth saving?-SAVED and Completed Thank You
« on: Wednesday 01 March 06 23:22 GMT (UK) »
This looks like a strange negative/positive photo of my great great grandmother.

Is it possible to enhance it in any way and actually see a clearer picture?

Any assistance appreciated

Many thanks
Di

Hi Di

There isn't a huge amount of info in the facial area of this picture, but a quick histogram adjustment and a multiplying overlay brings out some more contrast in the rest of the picture.

I'm sure a lot more could be done with it with some work.

Thanks KMO,

I had a play myself after seeing what tremendous results everyone had and this was my "enhancement" (not!)  ??? -

I really didn't think that there was any hope for this picture - but you have all proved me wrong.

Many thanks to everyone
Regards
